    I was looking at the car at the paris debut and something stuck out. It has side exhausts, size, and intake all the same as the SLR. Did Peugeot just take the car and copy it or actually just slap their body on it?

    Here's the link with a quick video in it. Be sure to look closely at the engine shot to help show my point.

    The front and side glass seems to be from the SLR as well.
    First time I saw this car I thought the same thing.

    Yup, that car is rubbish. Shame on Peugeot.

    Well, it definitely has the looks in places, but now that I look a little harder, the engine looks to be a V10. With the SLR having a Supercharged V8, they're not so close after all, but still the body has too many "borrowed" designs.

    Actually, the engine is a V12.
    It has the front nose and side exhaust of the SLR, the rear quarter panels are copy/paste from a Vanquish, profile from a Viper, protruding v-stacks from early Ferraris and the butt of a Porsche ... just a worthless prototype. I just hate it. It looks good, but it's all copy/paste.
